A more sensible explanation would be he was trying to keep circulation into his fists by clenching them. After all, he's old.

Besides he only does it in the one clip, so what, did he stop having dementia half way through the conference?

This is more bs from FOX trying to pick anything to attack Biden just to distract attention from other stories that'll make Republicans look bad.

Let's see the current democratic platform is to make it easier for people to vote.

It's to give people strong social safety nets to give them more personal and economic freedom like in European countries.

It's to put in policies that reduce income inequality.

These are things that actually make it harder for dictators to take control.

Now the GOP platform on the other hand is textbook tyrannical behavior.

I have to wonder just how much they want to actually do, as opposed to just spouting platitudes. I mean, the Republicans are scummy with a lot of their shit, but at least they're honest about it.

I really have no interest in watching Biden talking about fixing America for four years only to end up doing **** all of any considerable measure.

How are Republicans honest about it? eg they've promised a better replacement to the ACA (aka Obamacare) since the ACA became law. Trumpcare in 2018 was a debacle that would have left people who had insurance, without insurance, luckily McCain stopped it. They claimed their Tax Reform wouldn't be a boon to the richest people, claimed it'd actually hurt them, they jut became richer. Mexico was going to pay for the glorious mega-wall, the parts that where built were done on our tax dollars.

Why do we need Medicare for all ?

Estimates of the medical cost of adult obesity in the United States (U.S.) range from $147 billion to nearly $210 billion per year. The majority of the spending is generated from treating obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, among others.

So you'd want a country where nearly half the population is obese to be rewarded with free healthcare ? Pretty sure youtube workout and diet videos and some individual ambition would be better than stealing from the healthy to pay for the non healthy, no ?

Giving the unhealthy rewards, paid for with stolen money, is a disastrous moral hazard.

So all people have health care, which should be a right in America.

Yes, yes, "fat people bad", I'm well aware you feel that way, Ziggy.

Anyhow, part of universal healthcare should be trying to get people to eat better and get at least minimal exercise like walking.

Sweden pays for it's social safety nets by taxing the poor (people who make under 45k).

Yet I showed that every single one of the top 10 countries with the best free healthcare systems in the world are in the top 20 countries with the highest employment rates. Including 8 in the top 10. Clearly showing your baseless conjecture to be completely incorrect.

You then segwayed into something entirely unrelated about taxes in order to attempt to direct attention away from your blatant falsehood.

Hungary That's communism! They work in hospitals then pay tax for other people's healthcare until they need it then it's free.

Wait, that's just like every other insurance plan, and they can quit, and you can vote for how it get's managed...

It's still communism!

It is important to remember that Sweden has one of the highest VAT rates in the world. The poor are obviously not exempt from it.

And yet Sweden has a far lower % of their population living in poverty than the U.K. or USA.

So seems Social Democracy works better for the poor.

I was just pointing out that the graph that jaden_2.0 posted is misleading as Sweden very much taxes its poor through one of the highest VAT in the world.

I admit that I do not know what the threshold for poverty is in Sweden compared the U.K. or the USA, but Sweden does have a very high cost of living.

Wasnt just a response to you. Was a general response to the discussion where the argument seems to be that Free Healthcare comes at the cost of poor people.

Sweden does seem quite high on taxes. But seems to work as well.

Indeed, you will not end up financially ruined if you get seriously sick and happen to be uninsured, but there is simply no such thing as a free lunch(nor healthcare) and everyone has to pay, even the poor.

Or the more obvious answer of anything you tax you get less of, in this case poverty.

There will be positives and negatives for every country. After all things are considered I guess the happiness of a country's citizens would be the main consideration and should be the primary goal of its government. Sweden seems to do well in that regard being listed as the 7th happiest country in the world so they don't seem to mind the relatively high tax rates.

Because taxing the poor ensures there isn't that many poor people. That would make me happy too.
Not to mention Sweden is 80 percent swedish, usually racial homogeneity produces better life outcomes.

No it wasn't. Let me remind you of your claim again.



Yet I showed that every single one of the top 10 countries with the best free healthcare systems in the world are in the top 20 countries with the highest employment rates. Including 8 in the top 10. Clearly showing your baseless conjecture to be completely incorrect.

You then segwayed into something entirely unrelated about taxes in order to attempt to direct attention away from your blatant falsehood.

How did you show that?

If the minimum level of what is considered poor is raised because of it they are still making out ahead.

Maybe. I was simply taking an issue with the notion that the poor in Sweden pay 0% tax; that is simply not the case.

Do you think incentives and subsidiaries don't alter human behavior ? If the answer is yes, then you should understand why free healthcare would be a moral hazard. But hey, I'm probably being racist by saying that.

You're right, inflation, regulations, inflation, unions, and licensing agreements are also a form of taxation.

True, but the discussion you guys were having was about Sweden taxing the poor, period. The graph you then posted showed a 0% tax rate on people below a certain financial threshold, which I felt did not reflect the actual reality in Sweden.

No it didn't. It showed a 0% INCOME tax rate.

The argument that the poor pay HIGHER taxes than the rich in Sweden is false as shown by the income tax brackets.

The argument that the poor pay MORE taxes than the rich is true. But making it out of context in order to portray the previous statement is disingenuous. They pay more by virtue of them being a larger group of people. As individuals they do not pay more tax than an individual rich person.

The same disingenuous argument gets made in the UK by the rich. The claim is that the richest 1% account for 30% of the total taxes raised by the government. This is true. However it is used out of context to claim that the richest 1% pay more than their share of taxes. This is false because it negates to mention the context that the richest 1% have more 50% of the wealth therefore in reality pay less than their fair share.

Yeah, but the argument was about the taxation of the poor in Sweden, not what the 1% in the U.K. pay in taxes or what they have to say about it. That is what the original argument was and I felt it was disingenuous to imply that the taxes the poor pay, income or otherwise, is 0%.

Darth Thor
Ilikecomics implied its mostly the poor the tax burden falls on in Sweden. That was disingenuous.

All jaden did was post the income tax rates in response. ilikecomics was never very clear about his accusation. So it was fine for you to note their high Sales Tax, but its also clear who was being disingenuous between jaden and ilikecomics.

The latter still wont accept free healthcare can work without huge poverty. Despite the figures from Sweden showing it does work and with far less poverty.
